#cifs — Public Fediverse posts

The dose makes the poison.

In technology, things which are convenient are often poisonous.

Why does SMB/Cifs suck so bad and why is there no decent alternative?

SMB Is Mandatory Now: What macOS Dropping the AFP Client Means for Storage Engineers ― Mitaka Digital | DEV Community

https://dev.to/mitakadigital/smb-is-mandatory-now-what-macos-dropping-the-afp-client-means-for-storage-engineers-46p0

"For four decades, the Apple Filing Protocol quietly underwrote every "just works" file-sharing experience in the Apple ecosystem. That era has ended. Apple deprecated the AFP client in macOS Sequoia 15.5, carried a removal warning through macOS 26 Tahoe, and shipped the macOS 27 "Golden Gate" developer beta with no AFP client at all. If your storage estate still serves Mac clients over afp://, the compatibility gap is live today, not on a future roadmap. …"

Well … that was an adventure.
Had #OpenCloud on #CIFS storage, and upgraded to 7.2. They had some regression with locking in the MessagePack backend, which effectively wiped all metadata on CIFS, because moving a file onto a locked file is "denied", but the file is deleted after the lock is lifted.
Wrote some migrator that takes the remaining DecomposedFS and moves all Blobs with their resolved paths to a PosixFS mount (including moving all metadata from the MessagePack to the xattr backend).

Before FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE, a planning document applied: <https://github.com/bsdjhb/devsummit/blob/main/15.0/planning.md>. Items included:

― smbfs replacement (v2 or better).

Looking ahead to 16.0-RELEASE, <https://github.com/bsdjhb/devsummit/blob/main/16.0/planning.md> applies. The initial version from BSDCan 2026 was committed four days ago.

I assume that an item for SMB/CIFS will appear in due course.

The only thing my #homelab lacks is a shared storage for #Proxmox cluster guest disks, and I still haven't figured out a simple solution for that. Maybe there are none.

#Ceph is complex and sounds like an overhead.

For #nfs / #cifs, my network is too slow.

Wondered why my images folder is so huge. Turns out there's a hidden .recycle folder used by Samba/CIFS to act as network level trash bin. You know… in case someone deletes something from a network share by accident.

So all the time I was freeing up space on purpose I ended up with an additional copy on the remote fs 😩

* I use the F-Droid app SMBSync2 to backup my images from the smartphone automatically to my local network share.

So now I have a Storage Box from #Hetzner mounted to a PBS VPS as a #CIFS mount. This thing works faster than I expected, without issues so far. Will see how it goes.

Also, 1TB for € 3.20 is quite a good price. Cheaper than #Backblaze. And I can mount that storage to #HomeAssistant as a backup target as well.

quicktipp #107: On modern Linux you don't necessarily need Samba to create a SMB share. The Kernel now has its own SMB3 server (KSMBD).

Note: This needs a kernel >= 5.15 and compiled with CONFIG_SMB_SERVER. Ubuntu 24.04+ ships it.

If you are in Red Hat land: This is currently disabled in Fedora and EL10 (for EL9 the kernel would be too old anyways), so you'd need to build kernel + usermode tools yourself.

Możliwe zdalne wykonanie kodu w module ksmbd w Linuksie

W świecie usług są takie, które przewidziane są do publicznej ekspozycji oraz takie, które nie powinny być widoczne „ze świata”. Nie oznacza to jednak, że bezpieczeństwo tych drugich może umykać naszej uwadze.

A question for systemd users:

I have a --user mount unit for a cifs network share. The unit fails with an error that there is no corresponding entry in fstab. I thought mounts were supposed to be a sort of hotplug for fstab ?

I have very little experience in this so I may be totally off the mark. In this case, any reading/links you could point me to would be very helpful.

A quick mount-on-login has turned into a typical systemd nightmare T_T

Installing #OpenMediaVault on the #RaspberryPi so far... has been kind of a headache, despite how it always seemed 'simple' on other people's videos... Kinda wondering if I'm better off, just, setting up #SnapRAID, #mergerfs, and #Samba/#CIFS manually.

I don't think I need #OMV specifically, using the Pi as a simple #SMB share that I also happen to run some #Docker services on, I just thought it'd be neat to finally try out OMV, after having only used and been familiar with #TrueNAS all this while.

Well, while it was busy installing (which I initiated remotely, through SSH), for some fuckin' reason I got disconnected to it and I couldn't reconnect to it through SSH again. Why does this only happen when I'm a million miles away (exaggerating) and have no physical access to it but when I'm literally in the same building, doing the same type of thing thousands of times, everything just.. goes swell to the point that it deluded me into thinking #KVM 's a waste of money :')
